Summary
Just two questions I'd like clarified in the article, and I'll probably approve this.
1) How do the differences in gravitation affect the impact of particles. Are spatial debris slowed to harmless levels crossing the shield's operational threshold (the edge of its area effect) or is there something else at work?
2) Does this work like almost every other gravitational shield in the setting, slowing down and stopping solid rounds/dispersing lasers via gravitic lensing to reduce damage?
Status: Pending
Notes
Since this is an Faction Manager submission, I'm going to allow a few liberties in regards to that faction's past, especially since the given technology is 'weaker' than the standards generally suggest as being top-tier.
